Kabale Deputy Town Clerk to Be Installed as Rotary President Today
KABALE – The Deputy Town Clerk of Kabale Municipality, Mr. Sunday Eric, is set to be installed as the new President of the Rotary Club of Kabale Central during a ceremony scheduled for today at White Horse Inn in Kabale Town.
The installation follows a successful community service project by the Rotary Club of Kabale Central, which on Friday commissioned a protected spring water source at Kigezi High School Primary School. The project, which cost Shs6 million, was completed within one month and is expected to address persistent water challenges at the school.
Speaking during the commissioning ceremony, the outgoing Rotary Club President, Mr. Byamukama Remegio, said the project was part of the club’s commitment to improving communities through sustainable development initiatives.
“The protected spring cost a total of Shs6 million. We also planted a tree belt at the school to commemorate World Environment Day. Supporting environmental protection, schools and community welfare remains one of the cardinal roles of our club,” Byamukama said.
President-elect Sunday Eric expressed gratitude to club members for entrusting him with leadership and pledged to uphold Rotary’s motto of “Service Above Self.”
Eric, who is also the proprietor of Elijah Hotel located in Mwanjari along the Kabale-Katuna Road, said he plans to focus on supporting vulnerable schools and implementing community-based projects during his one-year term in office.
“Within the year I will serve, I intend to support many vulnerable schools through different projects and continue promoting initiatives that improve the lives of people in our communities,” he said.
The Head Teacher of Kigezi High School Primary School, Mr. Godfrey Beinomugisha, welcomed the completion of the water project, noting that the school had long struggled with water shortages.
He explained that whenever piped water supplies were interrupted, pupils were forced to walk long distances in search of water, affecting their learning and welfare.
“We have been facing a serious challenge of water. When the piped water system is off, learners have to move long distances to fetch water. This protected spring will greatly help the school,” Beinomugisha said.
The commissioning of the water source and the tree-planting exercise formed part of Rotary’s efforts to improve access to clean water and promote environmental conservation in the region.
The installation ceremony for the new Rotary Club of Kabale Central president is expected to begin at 5:00 p.m. at White Horse Inn.
